Notes:
1.The PC1 flowsatthe heightbetween 150to 300 meters,the feedingriversforthisare Kamali,Kofi,
Ganga, Yamuna, Chambal, Sind, Betwa, Ken, Son, Damodar, Seanath, Mahanadi, Wainganga,
Penganga,Godavari,Krishana,Tungabadra,Penneru,Stanley,Kaveri.All theserivers will be feeding
the PC1 at the sea level between 450 to 300 meters.
2.These Primarychannelsare suppliedbyone orthe other river, water is utilized on the other side.
The basic principal is any river that originates above the level of 300 meters has to pass a point at
300 meters at some place, utilize this and interconnect these points in such a way that all land
coming below that point should get the continuous water supply for irrigation.
3.It isalso suppliedbythe otherprimaryandsecondarychannelswhichare presentat a higherlevel.
4.Anyexcesswater,more thanthe normal flow levels in the Primary channel will flow in its normal
natural path.
5.If the watersupplybyone riverislessand the water level is going down in the primary channel it
will be fedbythe otherriverat a differentsite andthusaconstant flow ismaintainedin the primary
channel.
Picture: Gate system of the channels.
6.The size of the primarychannel may be maintained at 16 meters depth, 20 meters breath, flow is
maintained at 10 meters level, if the flow is more than 12 meters, water should flow in to the
natural flow system. The gates for secondary channels are created for the top 5 meters of water of
the primarychannel.One gate each is created in the primary channel for each natural path starting
from the base of the channel

49. 7.Withthisthe statesor the places that are supplied by the primary channel 1 need not depend on
the neighboring states for water, and most of the north Indian and few south Indian river water
causing floods and entering the sea will be effectively utilized through primary channel 1 and the
wateris equallyutilizedall alongthe channel.The stateswhichare at highersealevel will utilize the
entire water generated at that level and as much as land possible is irrigated through the reticular
canals created at that level.
11.59. The primary channel 2.
Map: Primary channel 2.
The primary channel 2 flows between the heights of 300 to 500.
The feeding rivers for this channel are,
1. Mahi, Tributariesof Chambal (Gandi sagar),BetwaandKen – these riversfeeds the EAST BRANCH
OF PC 2.
2.Damodar, tributaries of Son- feeds the WEST BRANCH OF PC 2.

or for the industry purpose.

Most probably the water diverted by these PC1, PC2 and PC3 is more than sufficient to irrigate
the entire land. PC 1 area will never suffer from water deficiency, rarely the PC2 and PC3 area may
suffer from deficiency. To overcome this it may be necessary to create one more Primary Channel
and a lift system.
11.61. The Primary channel 4 and the lift system
The feeding rivers for the PC4 are Manas, Sunkash, Amo, Tista, Kosa, Karcha, Bagmathi, Gandak,
Rapti,Ganga, Karmanasa,Son, Punpun,Phalgu.The excess water drains in to river Dadhar and then
in to river Ganga.

is at 600 meters above the sea level where the west branch of the PC2 originates. A similar lift
system may be necessary to create to lift the water from PC2 to PC3.
11.62. The Communicating canals.
These are the canalscreatedbetween the east flowing and west flowing rivers/pc3. It is created as
the size of primaryor secondarychannelsdependinguponthe continuousorseasonal flow of water
inthe feedingriver.Mostof the time these channels are created in such a way that the water flows
fromthe westflowingrivertothe eastflowingriverbecause more land for agriculture is present on
the east to the western ghats. If needed the visa versa can also be done. We need to consider two
pointas givenbythe riversurveyteam(The westflowingriverdistance andthe level will be givenby
the Zone 6 & 7 teams),andif we want the flow tobe fromthe westflowingriver to the east flowing
river, then the first point in the west flowing river is taken at a higher level than the east flowing
riveror the primarychannel 3 witha considerableleveldifference and the land survey is done both
aerially and on the land the communicating channel path is identified and a game road is created
and test for channel patency is done, digging and barrier wall creation are done. Through these
communicating canals we can expect the unexpected run/flush/gush of water to the east flowing
rivers and that can be used to fill the storing systems like reservoirs.
11.63. Maintenance of RCS.
We needtomaintainthe RCSfinancially, technically and administratively for proper functioning of
the systemandthe machineryinsucha way that the RCS shouldsupplyrequiredamountof water at
requiredtime withoutcausinganyproblemsforthe peopleandthe cropsand to leada happylife for
the people who work for RCS.
A National Irrigation board is created under the leadership of President of India or the Prime
ministerof India,aspecifiedamountof fee isfixedperhectare of landpermonth (suggested Rs.25-)
and the collected money can be utilized for the salary of the employs, for maintenance and repair
work of the RCS and for extending and improving the system of RCS.
The rate of revenue should be uniform throughout the nation irrespective of mode of supply like
canal irrigation with lift or without lift, pipe line irrigation and others. The revenues are collected
from the land owners who utilize the water for agriculture purpose and from the factory owners
who utilize the water for industrial purpose, but no money is charged for the water used for
domesticpurpose,butthe corporationorthe village panchayatorganizationmaycollectthe charges
toward purification, salary and maintenance of the water supply system.
The revenue can be collected from the individual or from the village panchayat agriculture
association orfromthe boards/organization like electricity bill as practiced today. The money goes
to the districtRCS committee,thentothe state andthe state will send the money to the respective
zone as one state may come under more than one zone and from the zone to the centre.

57. 11.64. The Composite probable RCS .
It is the water system with the entire natural and the artificial water pathways put together.

58. Map: Composite RCS.
With all the natural water path ways like the rivers, tributaries, streams and others with all the
artificial waterpathwayslikethe primary,secondary,tertiary, quaternary, communicating channels
put together will look like the reticulum of canals hence the name “Reticular Canal System”.

over it.
